Find the Unique Element
Given an integer array where every element occurs exactly three times, except for one element that occurs only once, your task is to identify and output that unique element.
The problem can be formulated as follows:
( \text{For an array } A, \text{ if } \forall x \in A \setminus {y}, \text{ frequency}(x)=3 \text{ and } \text{frequency}(y)=1, \text{ then find } y. )
For example, if the input array is [2, 2, 3, 2], the output should be 3.
inputFormat
The first line contains an integer ( n ) representing the number of elements in the array. The second line contains ( n ) space-separated integers that form the array.
outputFormat
Output a single integer which is the unique element that appears only once in the array.## sample
